Unusual nicknames

My great grandfather's nn was Dime. I have never heard this used as a name or a nn besides him and I quite like it. I really wish I knew the story behind it but I don't. His name was LoyceGordon. My grandfather was LoyceGordon, Jr but everyone called him L.G.

I don't really like nickname-names. I love nicknames, but prefer them to be a term of endearment or something that the older sibling came up with, or something that just fits them perfectly or randomly happened. The nickname chooses you, I firmly believe.

But ... I just ran across Cricket and thought that would be such an adorable nickname on a little girl.
